By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN (Associated Press) UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Russia and Ukraine on Monday traded blame before the United Nations Security Council for the attacks on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said have put the world “dangerously close to a nuclear accident.” Without attributing blame, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said his agency has been able to confirm three attacks against the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant since April 7. “These reckless attacks must cease immediately,” he told the Security Council. “Though, fortunately, they have not led to a radiological incident this time, they significantly increase the risk … where nuclear safety is already compromised.” The remote-controlled nature of the drones that have attacked the plant means that it is impossible to definitively determine who launched them, Grossi told reporters after the meeting. “In order to say something like that, we must have proof,” he said. “These attacks have been performed with a multitude of drones.” Zaporizhzhia sits in Russian-controlled territory in southeastern Ukraine and has six nuclear reactors. Fears of a nuclear catastrophe have been

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while lawsuits over the law proceed, reversing lower courts. The justices’ order Monday allows the state to put in a place a 2023 law that subjects physicians to up to 10 years in prison if they provide hormones, puberty blockers or other gender-affirming care to people under age 18. Under the court’s order, the two transgender teens who sued to challenge the law still will be able to obtain care. The court’s three liberal justices would have kept the law on hold. A federal judge in Idaho had blocked the law in its entirety after determining that it was necessary to do so to protect the teens, who are identified under pseudonyms in court papers. Opponents of the law have said it will likely increase suicide rates among teens. The law’s backers have said it is necessary to “protect children” from medical or surgical treatments for gender dysphoria, though there’s little indication that gender-affirming surgeries are being performed on transgender youth in Idaho. Gender-affirming care for

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors’ team bus had to have a full gas tank as it pulled away from Chase Center for the state capital Monday, but the team won’t have all its fuel. Defensive stalwart Gary Payton II won’t play in Tuesday night’s play-in game against the Kings at Golden 1 Center, Steve Kerr revealed Monday. Payton, who has been dealing with a strained left calf, also won’t be available if the Warriors beat the Kings and advance to the second play-in game later in the week, against either the Lakers or Pelicans. Payton would have likely played an important role as an on-ball defender against Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox, at least for small bursts. Instead, that burden will fall on the Warriors’ bigger, rangier players who might not have as much lateral quickness. “Gary’s a huge piece to our team,” Trayce Jackson-Davis said. “I think we’re going to have to rely on Wiggs, rely on JK, use their athleticism, their speed, their length against Fox. But yeah, he’s a huge piece, and we’re going to miss him tomorrow.” Payton has had trouble

MIAMI — It’s starting to get a bit boring for Camilo Doval. “A little bit,” he said Monday in Spanish, cracking a smile at his locker in loanDepot Park’s visiting clubhouse. Game after game, he walks out to the bullpen. He takes his seat. Maybe he’ll get up to stretch and grab a drink of water or a handful of sunflower seeds. But universally for the San Francisco Giants’ past seven games, that has amounted to all the action their closer has gotten. “I like to be active. I like to pitch,” he said, with Erwin Higueros interpreting. “But I see the score, and I see we’re losing, and I’ll be like, ‘Well, OK, another day I’m not going to pitch.’” Manager Bob Melvin isn’t blind to the situation. There hasn’t been a save situation since last Sunday. If it goes on any longer, he said he could call on Doval in a game where the margin is a little more than three runs. He used Taylor Rogers, who hadn’t pitched in six days, to record the final out of Sunday’s loss to the Rays.

Monday, April 15, 2024 10:33PM With 28 flavors to choose from including four that rotate monthly, Scoops at Bullard and West in northwest Fresno is sure to please any palate. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — With 28 flavors to choose from including four that rotate monthly, Scoops at Bullard and West in northwest Fresno is sure to please any palate. “Aside from selling great ice cream and great shakes, we sell an emotion — you walk in, you feel such an uplifting mood,” says Scoops Owner Karan Gill. From the music and lighting to photo walls on either side of the shop, it’s hard to imagine the renovations that went into transforming what was a Baskin Robbins. Gill took over the location before the start of winter and opened his doors in January. It was the lengthy renovations that proved to be his biggest hurdle. “There was a point I was scared I wasn’t going to keep going,” he said. The young entrepreneur knew the challenges that would come with starting a business but took a leap of faith when opportunity came knocking. “I didn’t psych

The attack lasted just 27 seconds, but writer Salman Rushdie said in that short amount of time he experienced the worst and best of humanity. In an interview Monday with ABC News’ “Good Morning America” co-host George Stephanopoulos, the 76-year-old author of “The Satanic Verses” recounted the 2022 attack on him at a lecture in Chautauqua, New York, allegedly by a 24-year-old man bent on carrying out a Fatwa imposed on Rushdie in 1989 by Ruhollah Khomeini, the former supreme leader of Iran. Rushdie said he believed he was going to die, but then people who witnessed the attack rushed to protect him. He said a new book he has written chronicles the doctors who saved his life and how his wife, Eliza, became the heroine of his story for nursing him back to health. Salman Rushdie speaks to GMA. ABC News “No question,” he told Stephanopoulos. “I mean, lying there in this lake of blood, which was mine and was expanding, I remember thinking in a completely calm way, Oh yeah, I think I’m dying. And then, fortunately, I was wrong.” In his long

The decision overrides two lower federal courts that had upheld an injunction. By Devin Dwyer Monday, April 15, 2024 10:33PM ABC7 Eyewitness News Stream Southern California’s News Leader and Original Shows 24/7 The Supreme Court on Monday allowed Idaho to proceed with enforcement of a new law aimed at prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors. The decision overrides two lower federal courts that had upheld an injunction against the law as litigation over the merits continues. The decision was backed by all six of the high court’s conservative members. The three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — indicated they would have kept the law on hold. “Ordinarily, injunctions like these may go no further than necessary to provide interim relief to the parties,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a statement concurring with the court’s decision. “In this case, however, the district court went much further, prohibiting a state from enforcing any aspect of its duly enacted law against anyone.” The court did, however, allow the parents and two children who brought the case against the law to continue to obtain

NEW YORK — The historic hush-money trial of Donald Trump got underway Monday with the arduous process of selecting a jury to hear the case charging the former president with falsifying business records in order to stifle stories about his sex life. The day ended without any jurors being seated. The selection process was scheduled to resume Tuesday. The first criminal trial of any former U.S. president began as Trump vies to reclaim the White House, creating a remarkable split-screen spectacle of the presumptive Republican nominee spending his days as a criminal defendant while simultaneously campaigning for office. He’s blended those roles over the last year by presenting himself to supporters, on the campaign trail and on social media, as a target of politically motivated prosecutions designed to derail his candidacy. Former President Donald Trump leaves Trump Tower on his way to Manhattan criminal court, Monday, April 15, 2024, in New York. After a norm-shattering presidency shadowed by years of investigations, the trial amounts to a courtroom reckoning for Trump, who faces four indictments charging him with crimes ranging from hoarding classified documents to plotting

Phil Galewitz | KFF Health News (TNS) Nearly a quarter of adults disenrolled from Medicaid in the past year say they are now uninsured, according to a survey released Friday that details how tens of millions of Americans struggled to retain coverage in the government insurance program for low-income people after pandemic-era protections began expiring last spring. The first national survey of adults whose Medicaid eligibility was reviewed during the unwinding found nearly half of people who lost their government coverage signed back up weeks or months later — suggesting they should never have been dropped in the first place. While 23% reported being uninsured, an additional 28% found other coverage — through an employer, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, or health care for members of the military, the survey by KFF found. “Twenty-three percent is a striking number especially when you think about the number of people who lost Medicaid coverage,” said Chima Ndumele, an associate professor of health policy at the Yale University School of Public Health. Going without insurance even for a short period of time can lead people to
